PLANNING
Asset and infrastructure planning through Resilience Explorer®
Invest in the right assets, in the right places, at the right time.
Resilience Explorer® helps you understand how climate and natural hazard risks translate into asset damage, service disruption, and community impact. It gives you a consistent, current evidence base to support asset management plans, capital programmes, and long-term infrastructure strategies.
The infrastructure decisions you make today will shape how communities function for decades. Getting them right, under genuine uncertainty about future climate and natural hazard conditions, requires more than age and condition data.
Planning infrastructure that must perform for decades as climate and natural hazard risks change
Prioritising limited investment across a portfolio when risk information is fragmented or incomplete
Demonstrating that investment decisions are supported by clear and credible risk evidence
REGULATORY CONTEXT
Infrastructure policy now expects councils and utilities to manage climate and natural hazard risk and maintain reliable services over the long term. Resilience Explorer® helps you do both.
Identify assets most exposed to hazard risk. Understand which infrastructure assets face the greatest exposure across your network.
Understand how impacts spread across systems. See how disruption in one place can affect services and communities elsewhere.
Understand how asset failure affects services. See how disruption to one asset can affect communities and service delivery across the network.
Prioritise investment where it reduces risk most. Focus capital where it will have the greatest impact on service continuity and community outcomes.
Compare infrastructure investment options. Understand how different investment choices influence future risk.
Support asset management plans and capital programmes. Provide evidence that supports infrastructure planning and investment decisions.

Unlike conventional systems offering basic mapping, the platform provides sophisticated vulnerability assessment capabilities. As Pip Newland emphasises, "it's not just a mapping tool", integrated analytics enable a detailed understanding of how climate risks translate into operational, financial, and community impacts

When critical infrastructure fails during climate events, the costs are devastating—not just financially, but for the families, farms, and businesses left without power. For Orion Group, which serves 220,000 connections across central Canterbury, preventing these failures before they occur is essential.
